Tamarindo sets on a crescent shaped bay on the North Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. The beach is very beautiful and the ocean is friendly. Snorkeling, swimming, or surfing a famous estuary break, are all Playa Tamarindo activities the entire family can enjoy.

El Tesoro is a short beach stroll to town where there are many fine restaurants, shops and services all enhancing the Tamarindo lifestyle.

The weather, location and general desirability of the area have transformed Tamarindo into a full service beach community. This is a rare place where those who value Costa Rica’s culture and Pura Vida tradition can have their creature comforts too!

Growth creates challenges for the environment. The citizens of Tamarindo are organized, caring and involved in the evolution of their community. The prevailing general attitude is that while development may be inevitable it should be limited and reflect a sense of community and environmental responsibility.
